. A lofty goal for a car expected to be priced near $24,000. We can only hope it stays in that price range. The base model could hit that mark. It will be equipped with 215/45R-17 tires all around and likely come standard with a 6-speed manual, but it was clear the company was investigating other transmission options. The seating position will be kept low, and the focus is to make the driving experience fun.

As other details emerge, we will report more on this exciting new rear-drive sports coupe. Our fondest hope is that it lives up to our enthusiast expectations, and with the rumor that it drives like a 2+2 Mazda Miata, it should be perfect. Time however, will only tell.
